Death… And Me-Chapter 2002 Knowing Dead Souls

Casu wasn't worried about anything in there. No fights could erupt due to the laws, after all. Not at his level of cultivation, at least. Now that he was in front of the Path of Reincarnation's entrance, all he had to do was release the souls he captured, and they would enter the Path of Reincarnation on their own.

However, everyone back in the Meeting Hall was closely watching the scene unfold. None of them could warn Casu that the twins were there even if they wanted to. Of course, it wasn't that they couldn't, but that it was part of the Elder Devils' agreement. Each Elder Devil had a close eye on every participant to prevent them from being helped by their elders outside. In any case, they wanted to see what the twins and Titia were planning.

Casu raised his bracelet, which was filled with dead souls, before using his Divine Energy to release them. Soon, the gems on his bracelet lit up, and many souls began to escape nonstop. Casu didn't need to do anything. The moment they felt the presence of the Path of Reincarnation's gate, they all rushed to it. It's just that they were still somewhat far away since no one could get too close to it if they were still alive.

Seeing the souls disappear in the distance, Casu also noticed the count of souls that he had guided increase. Eventually, the last soul left his bracelet, bringing his soul-guiding score to 137. With that, he faintly smiled and immediately took flight. His two companions were already somewhere else, looking for other places with a high concentration of dead souls to be captured.

Yet, little did Casu know that the souls didn't move even a tenth of the way to the Reincarnation Path when they suddenly stopped and began to struggle. The Elder and High Devils looked at that with wide-open eyes.

"Why did they stop?"

"The gate to the Path of Reincarnation should attract them all."

"But that's not what's happening."

"Look, they changed direction!"

Sure enough, the souls Casu had brought there ignored the Path of Reincarnation's gate and rushed in the direction of the twins' group. Inside the Light and Divine Sense bending area, Rean and Roan were using their Soul Guiding Power and fusing it together!

"Impossible!" The first one to notice it was Eisheta. After all, that was exactly what her group was doing. They were joining their Soul Guiding Powers to create a much stronger one. Her Flata Clan was supposed to be the only one who knew that method. Not only that, it was the first time they even tried it, so how did the twins know that as well?

Rui's mouth twitched a bit, not expecting the twins to be able to do that. Nevertheless, what really surprised him was that the twins could generate a Soul Guiding Power stronger than the power created by the Path of Reincarnation's entrance. 'No... it's not that they can generate a stronger soul-guiding power. Even an Elder Devil wouldn't be able to do it. Instead, they're much closer to the dead souls Casu released. Since they're so much closer, the dead souls still think their soul-guiding power is stronger. However... they're so close to the Path of Reincarnation's entrance, but they can still generate a soul-guiding power strong enough to trick the souls released there. If I didn't know their cultivation levels, I wouldn't believe that.'

Naturally, since Rui noticed that, so did the other Elder and High Devils. They all looked in Rui's direction, wondering where he had found those two Devils.

Rui, on the other hand, noticed their eyes and brightly smiled at them. "Did you like them? I had to spend a lot to get them to this level, so I'm happy it's paying off now." Naturally, that was a complete lie. He didn't even spend a single Divine Stone on the twins. Though, he wouldn't tell them that.

Back on the twins' side, the souls Casu released quickly entered Roan's bracelet. Only the highest soul count would be valid, so there was no need for Rean to share them with Roan. Soon, Roan's bracelet quickly filled with souls, lighting up the gems around it. Following that, Roan activated his bracelet and released all the souls back. Seeing that the twins' soul-guiding power had disappeared, the souls quickly turned their attention to the Path of Reincarnation's entrance and vanished in the distance.

Roan then looked at his bracelet and saw the count rise to 103. In the end, the twins' soul-guiding power had a limit. 34 of the released souls still decided to go to the Path of Reincarnation instead of flying to the twins' side. Not that it was a problem, of course. There would be many more of them coming in the next three days.

"It's unfortunate that we can't just repeat this process," Rean couldn't help but sigh.

Roan nodded in agreement. "The bracelets can remember which souls had been inside before. That makes sense since each soul, even if dead, is different. There's no such thing as identical souls in this Universe. That prevents any of the participants, as well as the normal devils, from breaking the rules. It's just that probably no one expected us to re-guide the souls released in this area, so we can at least do that once for each participant."

Titia was still shocked, especially how the brothers in front of her talked as if they didn't do anything impressive. 'Just who are you two? How did you do that?' She obviously used a Divine Sense to talk to make sure others couldn't hear.

Rean smiled back in response. 'Oh, that's a secret.'

Titia's expression turned dark in response. She obviously didn't like that answer.

Roan, on the other hand, gave her a clue. 'How well do you know the dead souls?'

'Eh?' Titia was taken aback for a moment. 'They're souls of those who died all around the Universe, that's it.'

Roan shook his head after hearing that. 'If you don't try to understand the souls of the dead, you'll never be able to do what we did. Think about that.'

Rean's eyes lit up as he looked in another direction. 'Hey, another prey has just arrived!'
